Valmiki,
The Ramayana of Valmiki — Canto CXIV: Bharat's Departure
(1870s)
“ No more the horse's pleasant neigh Rings out to meet me on my way. Ayodhyá's youths, since Ráma's flight, Have lost their relish for delight: Her men roam forth no more, nor care Bright garlands round their necks to wear. ”
